The Secretary of State for Massachu-
sets has issued report showing to
what extent women have taken advant-
age of the law passed in 1880, permit
ing them to vote at school board cleo
tons. In 1881, 1871 ladies voted, and
in 1886, 1,911. The largest possible
female vote in the state is SAC, 900, and
hence it would appear that after six
years less than six women out of every
thousand take the trouble to record
their votes. 1t must be concluded from
these facts that the women of Massachu-
sets take little interest in the public
school, or believe that their manage
ment can be safely intrusted to the
masculine element of the community.

THE RAILROAD BRIDGE.
THE TENNESSEE q ARKANSAS CON-
PANy CAN BUILD IT.
President Van Benthuysen Writes a
Circular Letter to Congressman Set
ting Forth Reasons why Further
Legislation Should be Prevented.

A copy OF the following circular has been
Sent to every member OF Congress- with q
view to prevent, ii possible, any further
bridge legislation for Memphis;
"osFics TENNrsstE & ARKANSAS BRIDGE CO.. !
"MkMPuts, Tenn Dee l. 1857 /
"Dear Sir--Congess on the 26th OF
February. 1885, passed an act (53) author
izing the Tennessee x Arkansas Bridge
company and the Tennessee Construction
and Contracting company, jointly, to erect,
construct and maintain u bridge over the
Mississippi river ut Memphis.
Legal difficulties arose with reference
to the Tennessee company, which caused
great delay. These impediments have now
all been removed, but were not finally ar
ranged until last month, and the pre-
ilminary soundings, surveys, lines and
measurements are now in hand, upon
which contracts and specifications are be-
ing drawn An election for directors OF the
bridge companies was held last week.
After this election il was reported that the
Poughkeepsie Bridge company had pur-
chased control OF the Memphis bridge char
tiers. This is absolutely untrue. The Pough-
keepsie bridge, the largest on this con-
tinent, is rapidly approaching completion
over the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie,
N. \. The company owning that property
was recognized by me. | am connected
with 1t, and few of the gentlemen asso-
ciated in that reorganization are also in
some one OF the companies interested in
the Memphis bridge. The Poughkeepse
Bridge company, however, has no business
relation whatever with the Memphis
bridge.
Nov learn that the railroad companv
will ask Congress for an act to enable il TO
build bridge at Memphis. As that right
Is already in existence, such an applica-
tion cau only be for moropolistic purposes
and is injurious to our rights. No riilrnad
company should own or control a bridge
OF this nature. The present control of the
81. Louis bridge by railroad interests has
caused great complaint. Under our right.
the bridge Is 10 be used by all on the same
footing, aud the rates of charges are fixed
under the act by the honorable, the Secre-
tary OF War OF course, two bridges are
not needed and will not he permitted by
Congress, 20 impede navigation The an.
plication FOR another grant will not stop
us, but will be seriously injurious, and no
advantages can be- offered by any new an.
plicant. We are now making our con
tracts and every effort will be made 10
build the bridge in good faith The delay
heretofore has been caused by circumstan-
ces over which the grantees have no con
mol As any and every railroad company
have equal rights upon our bridge, we feel
that no good reason can be- assigned for
such an application, and we therefore re-
hPectiully ask protection for the vested
rights We hold. Very respectfully,
Wv. VAN BENTnUYsEN,
President"

YesssrdaY,s- Matinee in With
erell,s Court.
A vag named Pierce was tried in
Justice Witherell's Court yesterday.
He alleged with a most solemn air
that he had tramped the whole
town of Carson over looking for
work, and that all avenues of labor
had been remorselessly closed
against him.
A mar named Kelly was put on
the stand, VINO testified that Pierce
wouldn't work under any circum-
stances, or at any price.
"Didn't 1 ask you for work ?"
said the defendant.
ayes; but when 1 said I'd give
it to you, you skipped out"
"You're a d. liar" reared the
witness.
Kelly started to punch the mans
head, but was interrupted by the
Bailiff. After the case was sub
mitted the Court squared itself to
give lecture on vagrancy, when
the defendant remarked:
"Oh, Gully, cheese yer chin mu-
sic and fire away with your sem
teuce."
The Court caught its breath and
fixed the term at rs days.

Beyond Redemption.

WASHINGTON, November 18TH
The Republican disgust over New
York is pretty we'll paralleled by
Democratic disgust over Ohio. The
Republicans have in the last ten or
dozen years poured vast amount
of money into the rat-hole of New
York politics. The Democrats have
done the same for Ohio, and the av-
erage results in each case have
been discourageing. Mention has
been made of rising sentiment
among Republicans to let New
York ego to" for the future, and
the Democrats are showing the
same disposition as to Ohio.
Prominent Western Democrats
contend that Ohio has done and
will do just as we'll for the Demo
Gratis when let alone, and assert
that in the next Presidential cam
paign they will insist upon no Dem
ocratic money being wasted in that
State. They hold that a Demo-
cratic effort should be concentrated
upon Indiana, both in the way of
money and speakers. The Repub-
licans have undoubtedly made up
their minds to make big fight for
Indiana and Connecticut, and Har-
rison and Harley are looming up as
Presidential candidates

Exit Sparks.

The entire country. irrespective
of party, will be glad to know that
Commissioner Sparks has at last
resigned to avoid being kicked out
by his superior, During the CEN
tury of the Republics existence no
such ass as Sparks ever came to
hold office. His position seemed to
lave made him actually crazy. and
his chief aim seemed to be to run
his Office so as to drive everybody
else to madness also. He cost the
country almost as much turmoil
and trouble as a civil war. He
must have lain awake nights study
ing how he could construe the laws
80 as to cause the greatest possible
annoyance to the greatest number
of people. No one could have the
smallest dealings with him who did
not feel like booting him all over
the office. He was simply an ex-
traordinary ass with his head turn
ed by the importance of his Office
and had no more business in such .
place than a wild cow loose in .
church festival.

zealously and successfully as gen.

Sam Brannan says that there
is regular business in smuggling
Cinnamon into Arizona from No

it, and that probability was pointed
out when the importation of China
men into Mexico from British Co
lumbia was begun some time ago.
There is now a prospect of q
competition in time on the over

cific and the Burlington. Every

tin, the competitive elements in all
lines of business which have built
up the West are coming nearer. to
California, where they will exercise
a like influence.

NEW BASEBALL RULES.
Changes IN the Game Regula-
tiOns Made by the Joint
Committee.

PITTsBURG, November 16.-The
joint Committee of the National
League and American Association
on the revision of baseball rules
was in session in this city to-day.
After the adjournment of the after
noon session the committee announc-
ed that it had agreed upon the fol-
lowing changes in the rule:
Rule %, section 8. referring to
score cards, has been amended SO
that any contemplated score card
must be submitted to the umpire
for his approval,
Rule A, relating to the batsmen,
has been changed as follows: If on
third strike the ball be declared out,
also after two strikes have been
called, if the batsmen attempt to
make a foul hit, he shall be declar-
ed out.
Rule has been changed from 4
strikes and 5 balls. The rule
allowing base hit on five balls has
been abolished, but five balls will
still be considered factor in earn
ed runs. A base on balls will be
credited against the pitcher in the
error column.
Rule so, section 4, has been
amended, allowing the runner to
take base if the ball hits the UNI
pire.
If ball struck by the batsman
hits base-runner after an attempt
has been made to "feld" it, the
runner shall be declared out.
If the base-runner knocks down
or runs into a fielder, he shall be
declared out.
A resolution was adopted provid-
ing for the appointment of repre-
sentative from each association to
prepare an official report of the
changes to send to their representa-
tive organizations.
